Cabbage soup on chicken broth

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Soup will be cooked in chicken broth. You will need chicken for the broth, it doesn't matter which parts of the chicken you take: it can be an expensive chicken breast with white meat, and thighs, and even chicken necks. Vegetables should preferably be used fresh, if possible a new crop.

2. Step 2:

   

   First cook the broth. Rinse the chicken well - the better you wash the chicken, the less foam will form when cooking the broth. You can even soak the chicken in cold water for 30 minutes, and then drain the water.

3. Step 3:

   

   Fill the chicken with clean water, then bring to a boil, turn down the heat and cook, constantly removing the foam, for 30 minutes. Do not make the fire large - it should be minimal, and it is better to cover the pan with a lid.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove the chicken from the broth with a slotted spoon. The broth is ready. You can use it right away, you can the next day, or you can even freeze such broth.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the carrot well, clean it - for this purpose it is best to use a vegetable peeler - it cleans the skin as thinly as possible.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel and dice the onion. To make the onion better cleaned and not too hot, pre-soak it for 20 minutes in cold water.

7. Step 7:

   

   In a frying pan with the addition of oil, fry the onion and carrot for about 7 minutes until the onion is golden brown. You can take any vegetable oil, but since we will use it for frying, it is necessary to take refined oil.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add the roast to the broth, cook over low heat.

10. Step 9:

    

    Peel the potatoes, cut into medium cubes and also add to the pan.

11. Step 10:

    

    Wash the cabbage, remove the top 2-3 leaves and chop. Add to the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Continue to cook over low heat. I want to add that if you want to cook sour cabbage soup, then instead of the usual white cabbage, take sauerkraut.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add the crushed garlic clove. I put it through the press, but you can grate it or chop it with a knife.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cut the meat from the chicken on which the broth was cooked and return it to the pan. If you prefer soups without meat, you can not do this and use chicken at your discretion. Cook for a total of about 20 minutes after you put the potatoes - that's how long it takes for the potatoes to be fully cooked.

14. Step 13:

    

    At the very end, add salt to the soup.

15. Step 14:

    

    Serve hot soup with sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
